Hello, I bought your file but where is the Code?

Kevin C

updated!

Hi the code is linked in the PDF document in the raspberry pi section!

Just bought the file. Very nice work, for someone that is still new to electronics I would suggest giving a full list of all materials and maybe a bit more instructions. Otherwise nice. FIY I have figured most of it out so no worries.

Question:

What program do you use to draw your 3d prints?

As I understand the PCB drawing when ordering from JLC does not include the JST XH 2.54mm male headers?

Were you ever able to finish the project? Do you know where the USB C header goes?

Also where do you plug the JST XH port labeled "power"? I plugged it into a phone charger and the board shut off. (Luckily no harm)

The github code has this issue. I've run it on both the RPI and another computer.

I am having the same issue, did you get a reply?

There are some forks of the code and it looks like some are being updated / fixed. Gonna try this one later:

No, this designer seemed to have ghosted us all :(

I am tempted to learn python to fix the software. It seems like the code was also written by AI

Hi Concept Bytes, I have purchased this and all i have is stl files, could you kindly direct me to where the 21 page guide and code is please ?

thanks

Kevin C

updated!

Kevin C

Hi, It should be included in your purchase as a pdf. Let me double check and let me know if you still can't access it!

yes its in there now, thanks concept !

What about the part number for the display and the pumps?

A
anythang4me

They're on the pdf if you click the image of the item. I would also recommend a Raspberry Pi 4 because the 5 is not supported by the github code, even though the PDF specifically requests it

@Concept Bytes, nice idea, just downloaded it and started the prints. If somebody in Europa already have some pcb's or want to join when ordering let me know.

Brad

I ordered the PCB direct from creator but have not heard anything for some time. Are you still looking for someone to go in on it?

Mattias G

Sorry to say but I also miss the instructions, only got the STL

Kevin C
Concept Bytes

updated!

Kevin C

The instructions should be linked as a pdf in there. Double check and let me know if its still not there

It works now

Kevin C

Awesome! Glad to hear. There are still being updated as issues and updates arrive, so check back for the latest version!

Has anyone built this and actually gotten it to work? I have all the required hardware, including the hat directly from Concept Bytes. I have no idea what to do with the USB C header, I don't know how to orient the Pi hat, So far with my attempts, the pumps aren't working (won't prime). Any help is greatly appreciated! The creator seems to have abandoned this project, as I have not gotten answer anywhere!

Hey Concept Bytes! Is it possible to get updated PCB information in the github files? I imported them into JLCPCB, but most of the original parts listed were unavailable and needed to be replaced. If I am going to spend the money to order, I want to make sure I do it right!!

Hi, Where can I buy your Tipsy PCB (didn’t find it on your website). Last but not least, is the code UI compatible with a rectangulaire screen ? (Cheaper :) )

Lan Ž

Hello, I bought your file and there are all instructions and stl files. Could you please give me step files too.

Tino H
tino.horn

can another display, as example from AliExpress, be used? Those are much cheeper in compare to the waveshare display.

S
seeshaughnessy

Did you have any luck finding out about this? I just bought the files but the parts are gonna be $$ through amazon.

Tino H
tino.horn

seems there is no support here… :-(

Brad

Any updates on timeline of pi hat shipping from your website? I ordered about 2 weeks ago, it hasnt shipped and I don't have any updates.

Overall, do you have a plan for maintenance and improvements to this creation?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. I can see your busy with many projects - they're all GREAT!!

Hi, I recently bought your file. I realised that the libk you shared is for 8 gb raspberry. I already have spare 2 and 4 gb. Do you think system will work without lagging with 2 gb or 4gb version?

Where can I find the Gerber pcb files?

Hello, I purchased your design and it wants the USBC power adapter.

The link included is out of stock, and it has a 4 week lead time.

Is there a reason we need to use that one instead of the built in on the rpi?

Maybe there is an alternative?

Also what Raspberry Pi do you recommend?

Timon R
TKRETH

is there a way to order the PCB to Europe?

O

I have ordered 2 assembled from JLCPCB and another 3 without components. I think I will have the boards within two weeks from now.

A
anythang4me

Did you get the board? How far did you get with the project?

Hello. I bought the files and I have started to print the files. One question about the voltage on the pumps. Is it going to be 5V or you are feeding with higher voltage? Wondering also where the power adaptor is used? Can you add more detailed diagram in your instructions?

Brad
Pyrogenes

As I understand it.... The pump motors are 12v so you can use the HUSB238 to get the appropriate voltage. I am working on wiring and will share a pic soon.

A
anythang4me

Were you ever able to get the wiring / power adapter figured out?

Brad
Pyrogenes

I think i figured it out...

The hat has a power port that might connect to POE port on the RPi. The hat says "J14" and RPi POE does too.

Odd because the hat GPIO pin holes connects 5v from RPi to all motor drivers and the power pins.

My concerns: 1 - it is not clear why we need husb238 2 - anything plugged in to the power on the hat could burn RPi 3 - motors are likely to be under powered

My goal is to redesign the 3D model and use 24 pumps with all off the shelf parts. No fiddling with custom PCBs.

A
anythang4me

I am now completely using another concept by someone else to power the pumps and pi.

It does seem like the HUSB238 needs to be wired to the tipsy board. The tipsy board needs to connect to the PoE on the RPi. That is just my guess, and my last guess fried my previous Pi so take it with a grain of salt.

I'm using this guide now. Power Supply and 5v regulator coming tomorrow.

I'm also using off the shelf motor drivers and relays now

What license does this creation has?

M

Would there be also a solution without the PCB?

Kevin C
Concept Bytes

You could buy a motor controller hat for the raspberry pi. Im not too sure what they offer. I made a custom PCB to support this. Im planning on selling the PCB very soon, so that might be a good option for you if you don't want to send in the file to get fabbed from JLCPCB

Brad
Pyrogenes

Any updates on the shipping of the PCBs that can be ordered from your website?

Rudi B
tomrudibott

Hello, when do you plan to sell the PCB. I wanna build this thing! Great Job btw!

Gold G

Where do we find the PCB file for Tipsy Hat

Kevin C
Concept Bytes

Should be on the GitHub. That should include the gerbers!
